Quick Start
Quick Start
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. antenna and/or barcode scanner) and a power source.
Use this guide as you would any other source book -- reading portions to learn about the VX6,
and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular subject. This guide
takes you through installation and operation of the LXE VX6.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1.
Install Vehicle Mounting Bracket on vehicle and secure VX6 in Mounting Bracket
Assembly (see “Installation”, later in this manual).
2.
Connect power cable to the VX6. The power cable can also be connected to a UPS
battery pack, which is then connected to the VX6.
3.
Connect accessories to VX6, e.g. scanner, antenna, etc.
4.
Secure all cables to the VX6 with the Strain Relief Cable Clamps.
5.
Turn the VX6 on.
6.
When instructed, calibrate the touchscreen.
7.
The screen may appear white while applications and drivers are loading. When
complete, set Date and Time (see the “VX6 Reference Guide”).
8.
Configure radio (see the VX6 Reference Guide”).
9.
Warmboot to ensure all registry settings are saved.
10. Device is ready for use.
The VX6 should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:
!
•
Does not obstruct the vehicle driver’s vision or safe vehicle operation.
•
Can be easily accessed by anyone seated in the driver’s seat.
If your VX6 has AppLock installed, please contact your system administrator
for setup and processing information.
AppLock is configured by an administrator to limit general users to only certain
programs.

Troubleshooting
Can’t calibrate the touch
screen, change the date/time
or adjust the volume.
AppLock is installed and running on the mobile device. AppLock
restricts User access to running programs. Changes or
modifications require Administrator access.
Refer to AppLock in the VX6 Reference Guide for setup and
processing information.
RFterm opens and runs upon
each cold reset and warm
reset.
Tap File | Exit to close the RFTerm application.
The VX6 seems to lockup as
soon as it is warm booted.
There may be small delays while the wireless client connects to
the network, authorization for Voxware-enabled applications
complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the VX6 startup
completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re-establish.

AppLock and the VX6
AppLock and the VX6
AppLock may be installed and running on the mobile device. AppLock restricts access to
programs and the Windows CE Control Panel. Please contact your system administrator for
details.
Single Application AppLock
Single application AppLock restricts a user to one application. The user is unable to exit the
application (or if the application exits, it immediately restarts).
Note:
Single application AppLock is obsolete. Please contact your LXE representative if you
desire to upgrade to multi application AppLock.
Multi Application AppLock
Switchpad Menu
Switchpad Icon in
Taskbar
Figure 8 Switchpad Menu
A checkmark indicates applications currently active. Applications without a checkmark are
available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the VX6 default input method
(Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated.
Note:
If “Keyboard” is not present in the window, an older version of AppLock is installed.
Please contact your LXE representative for upgrade information, if desired.
Using the Touchscreen
Note:
The touch screen must be enabled.
When the mobile device enters end-user mode, a Switchpad icon (it looks like three tiny windows
one above the other) is displayed in the taskbar. The taskbar is always visible on top of the
application in focus.
When the user taps the Switchpad icon, a menu is displayed showing the applications available to
the user. The user can tap an application name in the popup menu and the selected application is
brought to the foreground. The previous application continues to run in the background. Stylus
taps affect the application in focus only. When the user needs to use the Input Panel, they tap the
Keyboard option. Input Panel taps affect the application in focus only.
VX6 User’s Guide
E-EQ-VX6OGWW-K
AppLock and the VX6

The figure shown above is an example and is shown only to aid in describing how the user can
switch between applications using a stylus.
Using the Keypad
One switch key sequence (or hotkey) is defined by the administrator for the end-user to use when
switching between locked applications. This is known as the Activation key. When the switch
key sequence is pressed on the keypad, the next application in the AppLock configuration is
moved to the foreground and the previous application moves to the background. The previous
application continues to run in the background. End-user key presses affect the application in
focus only.
See the VX6 Reference Guide for AppLock setup instruction.

Key Maps
The keyboard supports all 101 keyboard functions. However, because the keyboard only has 60
keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the VX6 keyboard
supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
The hidden keys supported by the VX6 are listed in Appendix A, “Key Maps”.
Unused Key Functions
There are several key functions on the keyboard that are not used on the VX6. These include:
•
<2nd> <F3> – The Resume/Suspend function is not used, as the VX6 does not
support these power management modes.
•
<2nd> <F4> and <2nd> <F5> – The Display Brightness functions are not used as
the display brightness is adjusted by the buttons on the VX6 control panel.
•
<2nd> <F6> and <2nd> <F7> – The Contrast functions are not used as the contrast
is not adjustable on the TFT display on the VX6.
•
<2nd> <F8> and <2nd> <F9> – The Volume control keys are not used as volume is
adjusted via the Microsoft Windows CE Control Panel.
•
<2nd> <F10> – The keyboard backlight in controlled by Windows CE Power
Management.
Custom Key Maps
The System Administrator can create custom key maps. Details are in the VX6 Reference Guide.
NumLock and the VX6
The keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key. NumLock is always On.
Keyboard Backlight
The LXE keyboard keys are backlit. The keyboard backlight and the display share the same
timer, which is configured in the Windows CE Control Panel. When the display is On, the
keyboard backlight is also On. Please refer to Control Panel Options in the “VX6 Reference
Guide” for more information.

Power Supply
Power Supply
Vehicle power input for the VX6 is 12V to 80V DC and is accepted without the need to perform
any manual adjustments within the VX6. See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled
“Vehicle 12-80V DC Direct Connection”. An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
battery pack is available for the vehicle power supply connection.
If 12V to 80V DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional
external Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level.
See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled “External Power Supply”.
Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible. See section titled
“Installation”, sub-section titled “Fuse Replacement for the VX6”.
Uninterruptible Power Supply Battery Pack
An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery pack is designed to provide power to the
VX6 for short periods of time when vehicle power is unavailable (such as when vehicle batteries
are swapped). Fully charged, the UPS battery powers the VX6 for a minimum of 15 minutes at
25º C (77º F) ambient temperature.
The Power Status LED on the VX6 indicates the UPS battery status:
Green – Running on 12V – 80V power input
Solid Yellow – Running on UPS battery, battery is not low on power
Flashing Yellow – Running on UPS battery, battery is critically low.
Backup Battery
The internal 190 mAh Lithium backup (coin cell) battery provides power to maintain date and
time when the VX6 is not powered from an external source.
Caution
!
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same type or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Display and Touchscreen
Display and Touchscreen
The VX6 Display is a thin-film transistor display capable of supporting Half SVGA+ graphics
modes. Display size is half screen, 800 x 320 pixels. The display covering is designed to resist
stains. The touch screen allows signature capture and touch input.
The touch screen is a Resistive Panel with a scratch resistant finish that can detect touches by a
stylus, and translate them into computer commands. In effect, it simulates a computer mouse.
Only Delrin or plastic styluses should be used.
Note:
Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touch screen.
An extra or replacement stylus may be ordered from LXE. See the “Accessories” section for the
stylus part number.
Adjusting Screen Display
The color TFT display is an active source of light. The VX6 display brightness can be adjusted
via the brightness control keys located on the VX6 control panel. Pressing the brightness up
button increases the display brightness incrementally until maximum brightness is achieved.
Likewise, pressing the brightness down button decreases the display brightness until minimum
brightness is achieved. Because there are 64 incremental levels of brightness intensity, a single
press of either brightness adjustment button may not be noticeable. The up or down button can be
pressed and held to accelerate brightness adjustment.
Note:
The 2nd functions <F4>, <F5>, <F6>, and <F7> keys have no function on the VX6.
There are no provisions for adjusting the contrast of the display. The display remains on unless
Microsoft Windows CE power management is configured to turn the display off after a certain
period of inactivity.
Cleaning the Display
Keep fingers and rough or sharp objects away from the display. If the glass becomes soiled or
smudged, clean only with a standard household cleaner such as Windex® without vinegar or use
Isopropyl Alcohol. Do not use paper towels or harsh-chemical-based cleaning fluids since they
may result in damage to the glass surface. Use a clean, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not scrub optical
surfaces. If possible, clean only those areas which are soiled. Lint/particulates can be removed
with clean, filtered canned air.
Disabling the Touchscreen
The touchscreen can be disabled, if desired. For more information, please refer to “Disabling the
Touchscreen” in the “VX6 Reference Guide”.
Disabling the Touchscreen Heater
The touchscreen heater included on extended temperature VX6 models can be disabled on certain
VX6’s, if desired. For more information, please refer to “Disabling the Touchscreen” in the
“VX6 Reference Guide”.

Microsoft Windows CE Event Sounds
The VX6 includes a customized sound scheme. The customized WAV files are preferable to the
standard Microsoft Windows CE sounds when using the internal speakers.
Power Management
All Power Management is handled through the Microsoft Windows CE Control Panel. Since the
VX6 is externally powered, the only power management configuration is for the display/display
backlight and the keyboard backlight. The display, the display backlight and the keyboard
backlight are turned off at the same time. The time interval can be configured using Start |
Settings | Control Panel | Display | Backlight tab.
When enabled, the display, display backlight and keyboard backlight are turned off when the
timer expires. The timer is reset by the following primary events:
•
Keypress, or
•
Mouse movement, or
•
Touchscreen touch

Enter Data
You can enter data into the VX6 through several different methods:
E-EQ-VX6OGWW-K
•
The tethered scanner connected to the COM1 serial port provides barcode data entry
•
The serial ports are used to input/output data
•
The keyboard provides manual entry
•
The touchscreen also provides manual entry
VX6 User’s Guide
68
Enter Data
Keyboard Entry
Refer to Appendix A “Key Maps” for specific keypresses.
The keyboard is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. Almost any function
that a full sized computer keyboard can provide is duplicated on the VX6 keyboard but it may
take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task.
Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is
printed on the key.
For example, when the <2nd> key is selected pressing the desired second-function key produces
the <2nd> character i.e. <2nd> + F1 toggles the CAPS Lock function. The specific <2nd> character
is printed above the corresponding key.
Please refer to Appendix A “Key Maps” for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all
PC-compatible keyboard functions.
Touchscreen Entry
Note:
This section is directed to the VX6 user. The assumption is that the unit has been
configured and the touch panel calibrated by the System Administrator prior to releasing
the VX6 for use.
Note:
Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touch screen.
The touchscreen input performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click
elements on a desk top computer. The stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single tap or
double tap to select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to
activate slider bars, etcetera. Holding the stylus down for ½ second performs the right mouse
click function.
When using a stylus, hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen
with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. The touch screen responds to an
actuation force (touch) of up to 4 oz. of pressure.
The touch screen can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and an input/output device
connected to one of the VX6’s serial ports.
•
Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed.
•
The cursor begins to flash in the field.
•
The unit is ready to accept data from either the keyboard or a device connected to a
serial port.
Right Click
A right click can be simulated on the touch screen. To perform a right click, touch the touch
screen with the stylus and hold it in the same location for a short time.

Tethered Scanners
The following section is directed toward a generic tethered scanner connected to the COM1 serial
port on the VX6.
Aiming the Barcode Scanner
Aim the scanner away from you, direct it at the barcode and press the trigger to scan.
The Scan On LED (or equivalent) turns red to indicate the scanner is on.
Adjust the aim so that the thin, red laser beam covers the entire length of the barcode.
Some scanners use a laser aiming beam which then spreads into a wide beam when the scanner’s
Aiming Beam Timer expires. Place the aiming beam in the center of the barcode and hold the
scanner steady until the beam spreads and the barcode is decoded. Beeps may be heard as the
barcode is decoded. Refer to the barcode scanner user’s guide for information on the Aiming
Beam Timer and beep sequences, and the TE reference guide for host generated beep sequences.
The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the barcode.
Correct Scan
Incorrect Scan
Incorrect Scan
Figure 65 Scan Beam
Distance from Label
Large barcodes can be scanned at the maximum distance. Hold the scanner closer to small
barcodes (or with bars that are very close together).
Note:
Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the barcode being scanned. In this
position, light can bounce back into the scanner’s exit window, and possibly prevent a
successful decode.
Successful Scan
When the scan is successful, the scanner’s good scan indicator illuminates, the scan on indicator is
off, and the currently running application may produce a distinctive audible tone.
Unsuccessful Scan
When the scan is unsuccessful, the scan on indicator remains illuminated and the currently
running application may produce distinctive audible tones. Check the following:
E-EQ-VX6OGWW-K
•
Is the scanner programmed for the barcode being read?
•
Check the barcode for marks or physical damage e.g. ripped label, missing section,
etc.
•
Try scanning test symbols of the same code type at different distances and angles.
